RF SILICON AND SUBSYSTEMS SOLUTIONS FOR BROADBAND COMMUNICATIONS AND AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS MT1502EDC DAB/DMB TUNER PRODUCT BRIEF The MT1502EDC is a high-end automotive tuner module with an integrated analog to digial converter for terrestrial digital audio (DAB) or video PRELIMINARY services (DMB). MT1502EDC DAB/DMB Tuner The MT1502EDC is a tuner module for reception in VHF Band III and L-Band, compliant to the DAB EUREKA 147 standard. It performs a down conversion and filtering of the RF signal before it is provided into an integrated 12 bit analog to digital converter (ADC). The output signal is a digital intermediate frequency (IF) suitable for further signal processing with a generic or an application-specific DSP. In order to minimize interferences and distortion caused by undesired signals in adjacent channels, the tuner section of the module features digitally aligned tracking filters and an integrated IF SAW filter. Moreover an automatic gain control (AGC) is implemented which attenuates large RF input signals in order to keep distortion at very low levels. A WAGC pin provides the possibility to freeze this AGC during the null symbol of the DAB signal to prevent the tuner from overamplifying as the transmission re-continues. For clock synchronization between the analog to digital converter (ADC) and the DAB backend (DSP) the MT1502EDC offers a clock output. Incorrect samples which may result from a distorted input signal are indicated at the OTR pin. Through another pin connector the ADC can be shut down completely to save energy. The MT1502EDC has been optimized to meet the specific requirements of automotive applications and provides reliable performance even under harsh environmental conditions like temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Active antenna systems as commonly used for automotive applications can be fed with 12VDC phantom power which is routed from a pin connector to the antenna input. The module is lead free and fully compliant with RoHS requirements of the European Union.
